Folks -

Okay, when you create an object in PW1x, and especially when you import .dxf fonts, sometimes I get these little wavy-edge cirles in the drawing. They stay put when you move an object, and they don't cut, so what are they and why?

Another "artifact" for lack of a better phrase is that sometimes I'll get this "spike" on the side of an imported object - a straight line out - and it isn't an edit point that I've somehow screwed up... Ideas?

And while I'm at it, what is the little tilde icon that replaces the arrow when you hover over a highlighted object.

Where would I find more information about what the arrow icons mean?

Thanks!

Hi John!

Thoses little circles are pointing to an "issue" with the vector; loops, coincident points, duplicates... if you zoom VERY close in node edit mode, you could probably see something "wrong"... sorry, I can't remember where is the specific information about the specific color meanings...

You can probably find some relevant informations about thoses cursor icons here (http://forum.artcam.com/viewtopic.php?t=1275)...

Hope this help!
